Just like in b. 223, the version of EE1 is probably Chopin's mistake adopted from a proof copy of FE. The natural raising a1 to a1 was added in the last stage of proofreading of FE (→GE). The correction was also introduced in EE2.

Just like in b. 224, the cautionary flats before a1 and b1 on the 2nd quaver of the bar were added at the time of proofreading of FE (→GE). The accidentals are absent in EE1; however, they were added in EE2. In the main text we also add a  before a1, the 2nd R.H. semiquaver.

Just like in b. 223 and 227, the version of EE1 in b. 243 and 247 is probably Chopin's mistake adopted from a proof copy of FE. The natural raising a1 to a1 was added in both bars in the penultimate stage of proofreading of FE (→GE). The correction was also introduced in EE2.

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

EE1 is lacking in the cautionary flats before a1 in the L.H. crotchet chord and before b1, the 4th R.H. semiquaver. The accidentals were added in the penultimate stage of proofreading of FE (→GE) as well as in EE2. In the main text we also add a  before a1, the 2nd R.H. semiquaver. Cf. b. 243.

2 long accents in FE & GE2 (→GE3)

The difference in the length of the accents, visible in FE between the accent in b. 273 & the 2nd accent in b. 274 and the remaining accents in b. 274-276, does not necessarily mean that they should be diversified. It may be a result of a different origin of these two accents, which were probably added only just in the last stage of proofreading of FE (it is supported by their absence in EE). The latter was inaccurately reproduced in GE1, which was then corrected in GE2 (→GE3).
